SOFA AS SELF-PORTRAIT

They say dogs resemble their owners. I say sofas do. My best friend, God bless him, has a sofa that is flat, soft, squarish and damn well-designed, just like him. My mother-in-law’s uber-comfy, cushioned, russet-red flop-slop is a fine reflection of her watching The Bill. My long, weathered, angular, awkward number is me in all but a pulse. Tonight, alone, unviewed by the knowing world, take to your sofa like a first time lover and see how you get on. Then kick back, light a ciggie and watch the DFS ads together.
